1.0 Introduction

1.1 Project description

1.1.1 Overview Sydney Metro is Australia’s biggest public transport project. In 2024, Sydney will have 31 metro railway stations and a 66km standalone metro railway system, revolutionising the way Australia’s biggest city travels. Sydney’s first metro line, the Metro North West, opened on 26 May 2019. Services at the 13 metro stations operate every four minutes in the peak in each direction on Australia’s first driverless railway.

1.1.2 Sydney Metro Network There are four core components: Sydney Metro Northwest This project is now complete and passenger services commenced in May 2019 between Tallawong Station in Rouse Hill and Chatswood, with a metro train every four minutes in the peak. The project was delivered on time and $1 billion under budget.

Sydney Metro City & Southwest Sydney Metro City & Southwest project includes a new 30km metro line extending metro rail from the end of Metro Northwest at Chatswood, under Sydney Harbour, through new CBD stations and southwest to Bankstown. It is due to open in 2024 with the ultimate capacity to run a metro train every two minutes each way through the centre of Sydney. Sydney Metro City & Southwest will deliver new metro stations at Crows Nest, Victoria Cross, Barangaroo, Martin Place, Pitt Street, Waterloo and new underground metro platforms at Central Station. In addition it will upgrade and convert all 11 stations between Sydenham and Bankstown to metro standards. In 2024, customers will benefit from a new fully-air conditioned Sydney Metro train every four minutes in the peak in each direction with lifts, level platforms and platform screen doors for safety, accessibility and increased security.

Sydney Metro West Sydney Metro West is a new underground railway connecting Greater Parramatta and the Sydney CBD. This once-in-a-century infrastructure investment will transform Sydney for generations to come, doubling rail capacity between these two areas, linking new communities to rail services and supporting employment growth and housing supply between the two CBDs.

Sydney Metro West stations have been confirmed at Westmead, Parramatta, Sydney Olympic Park, North Strathfield, Burwood North, Five Dock, The Bays, Pyrmont and the Sydney CBD. Further planning is underway to determine the locations of the Pyrmont and Sydney CBD stations.

Greater Western Sydney Metro rail will also service Greater Western Sydney and the new Western Sydney International (Nancy Bird Walton) Airport. The new railway line will become the transport spine for the Western Parkland City’s growth for generations to come, connecting communities and travellers with the rest of Sydney’s public transport system with a fast, safe and easy metro service. The Australian and NSW governments are partners in the delivery of this new railway.

Additional information can be obtained from the Sydney Metro website at www.sydneymetro.info.

1.2.4 Punchbowl Station Precinct Punchbowl is 17km southwest of the Sydney CBD within City of Canterbury Bankstown Local Government Area. The suburb is bounded by Greenacre to the north, Wiley Park to the east, Riverwood to the south and Bankstown to the west. The study area for this SDPP is the Punchbowl station precinct, defined in Condition E57 as “an area within 200 metres radius of a station, or beyond for the purposes of connecting pedestrian and cycle paths from stations to existing or planned future pedestrian and cycle paths”. The precinct includes the Punchbowl town centre, with shopping streets radiating out from the rail corridor, the public open space of Warren Reserve, the extensive grounds of Punchbowl Boys High School, a number of community and religious uses, and a mix of single detached houses and 2-3 storey walk-up apartments. South of the corridor are large areas of hardstand car parking. A large mixed use development marks the eastern extent of the town centre. Figure 1.3 shows the 200m station precinct radius in its context.

1.4.6 Design process The design for the project has developed through an iterative and collaborative process. It stepped through from over-arching objectives and design principles, to context analysis, to the developing design. Consultation with City of Canterbury Bankstown Council has been a key part of the process and has informed the station design and future opportunities to be safeguarded. In summary, the steps involved were: 1. Project understanding » Build on Sydney Metro City and Southwest line-wide and specific project design objectives » Test and refine design principles, and share with project team » Establish the structure and draft outline for the SDPP (this document). 2. Context analysis » Review all EIS supporting documentation including specialist assessments and reports » Update analysis of strategic policy context, environmental and cultural context » Develop appreciation of key issues and precinct opportunities » Identify where the project can support precinct opportunities through the design. 3. Design » Cross-disciplinary workshops and discussions to integrate the work of all disciplines, from engineering through to human factors / customer centred design, heritage, landscape, architecture, and urban design » Regular consultation with Council for feedback on developing design » Design Review Panel’s regular review. 4. Public exhibition » Exhibition of the draft SDPP for public comment » Progress the design based on feedback from the exhibition » Finalise SDPP. – we are here These design steps form a key part of the projects development and a summary of the entire process is provided below:

2.0 Design principles

2.1 Corridor character

Each station precinct is its own place, with its own geology, topography, history and culture. Each has a particular mix of heritage station buildings and later additions. Each is also woven into its immediate context – its precinct – and into the wider neighbourhood in its own way. Two Aboriginal nations, the Eora and Dharug, were the original inhabitants of the area traversed by the project, broadly meeting at the Cooks River. The river – Goolay-yari (pelican) – was a place that brought people together as much as divided them, with its rich harvest of fish and shellfish. The Bediagal clan occupied land to the south; the Wangal to the west, and the Gadigal to the east. Southwest Metro will run through a landscape that has been homogenised by urbanisation although there is a diversity in communities and the urban character of each suburb. The undulating topography and geology is still legible – particularly as the corridor literally cuts through the contours. Built development has overlaid the silt, sand and clay around Marrickville, sandstone at Dulwich Hill and Hurlstone Park, estuarine wetlands at Canterbury, the Turpentine/ Ironbark forests endemic to Campsie, Belmore and Lakemba, and the Iron Bark/ Melaleuca Scrub and Salt Pan Creek environs of Wiley Park and Punchbowl. The T3 Bankstown Line is the main thread around which the developing suburbs grew and intertwined. The stories of successive waves of immigrants to Sydney are woven into the fabric of the urban form. While neighbourhoods have changed over time and will continue to change, metro stations will continue to serve as both destinations and departure points, connecting neighbourhoods and landscapes either side of the corridor.

2.2 Urban design vision

The EIS requires that “The urban design aspects would continue to be developed and refined during future design stages, taking into account considerations such as each station’s place making role, future urban development opportunities, heritage, links to the surrounding town centres, and feedback from stakeholders and the community. To reflect local conditions and heritage values, heritage interpretation, public art, and landscaping would be incorporated into the design of each station, in accordance with the design guidelines, and based on consultation with local stakeholders.” (EIS, Volume 1A, p. vi)

The urban design vision for the corridor as a whole, accordingly, is based on the design philosophy and themes set out in the EIS design guidelines. It is: – Stations and their precincts are well known, well used, and well loved by local communities. – They are integral parts of the neighbourhood, fitting comfortably in the streetscape. – They contribute both to a sense of place and to an easy travel experience.

The supporting design themes are:

Re-discover Re-connect Re-generate – The heritage fabric of the line – design that responds to, reveals and – All transport modes at stations – design for easy, accessible interchange and – The public domain – design new and existing public spaces and their repurposes heritage buildings and structures to prioritise walking and cycling interfaces to enable town and village centre revitalisation – The diversity of centres and communities – design that draws on and – Links into precincts – design to maintain and enhance the legibility of stations – Existing vegetation – build on landscape character to protect, enhance, expresses culture and community. and connections into the surrounding street and open space network. create and connect green areas.

3.0 Context and form

3.1 Historical context

3.1.1 Pre-European landscape Prior to colonisation, it appears Georges River Road was a trade and transit corridor connecting the lands of the Wangal and Kameygal via the present-day Punchbowl Road.107 The Bediagal also occupied some of the Country in this area, as acknowledged by the City of Canterbury Bankstown Council. For the Bediagal the nearby Cooks River and Salt Pan Creek were important features of their Country. They provided not only an abundant food source, but a means of transport and connection. There are records of Aboriginal people continuing to use the local river systems for subsistence up until the late 1800s. A number of key sites, including rock art, overhang paintings, stone scrapers, middens and axe grinding grooves can all be found along the Georges River, evidence of occupation prior to colonisation. Part drawn from Heritage Interpretation Plan; Punchbowl Station, Artefact

3.1.2 European settlement and land use Punchbowl, originally known as Belmore, began as an agricultural community. The most notable farms in the area were the ‘Forest Grove Farm’, a large market garden and orchard owned by William Welch, and the adjacent ‘Iron Bark Farm’ owned by James Gorman, named after the numerous Ironbark trees that grew on the property. The population of the area grew steadily until Canterbury Road was cut through from the Cooks River to join the Punch-Bowl Road in 1855. The possibility of a railway line in the district encouraged rapid subdivision. In 1874, Gorman and Welch’s properties were consolidated and then subsequently subdivided by 1880, then known as ’Dr Tucker’s Model Farm’. After the introduction of the Belmore line in 1895, the initial terminus had been called Belmore. When the Bankstown extension was opened in 1909, the district known as ‘Belmore’ was renamed to Punchbowl after the ford where Georges Road crossed the Cooks River. Further subdivision of Dr Tucker’s estate took place between 1912-1921, with land further west settles into the 1920s. Part drawn from Heritage Interpretation Plan; Punchbowl Station, Artefact 3.1.3 The station Punchbowl Station was opened as part of the Bankstown line extension on 14 April 1909, to service growing suburban development in the district. The station initially consisted of one island platform, with a goods siding added in 1919 (later removed in 1981). Following electrification of the line the weatherboard overhead booking office (1929) and footbridge (1930) were added. The station has been heavily modified, with later additions to the station include the 1970s toilet block, 1980s brick platform buildings and modern steel framed canopies added in the 2000s.

3.3 Built, natural and community context

3.3.1 Community profile

Key findings from the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ 2016 census show that Punchbowl has: – A median age of 32, with 22.6% of the population under 15 and 11.1% aged 65 or over – 54.7% of people born overseas – significantly higher than the national average of 34.5%. Of people born overseas, the top countries of origin (in order) are Lebanon, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Pakistan and China – Almost 78% of people who speak a language other than English at home – A median weekly household income of $1,146, lower than the NSW average – Separate housing accounts for 58.6% of the dwelling stock with renting accounting for 36.5% of tenure – 51.2% of people who were employed full time, 31.9% employed part-time and 10.4% unemployed – Trade worker and professional occupations the most common, at 15.7% and 13.9% respectively – A fairly even spread of workers in clerical and admin roles, labourers, machinery operators and drivers and community and personal service works also represented.

3.3.2 The station in its precinct Punchbowl Station is located adjacent to and below Punchbowl Road overbridge which forms a crest locally as it rises to cross the rail corridor. Punchbowl Road is heavily trafficked and in combination with the T3 Bankstown line create a disruption to the town centre, essentially bisecting the town centre twice with two separate main streets created north and south of the rail corridor. Due to its position adjacent to the overbridge, the station is highly visible on approach from the north via Punchbowl Road. However a row of established main street shoptop housing on the Boulevarde obscures views of the station concourse building and entry from the south. Unusually, the station entry and ticket office do not address Punchbowl Road. Instead, a north - south concourse is established 4 5 with two entries, one on The Boulevarde and the other on Punchbowl Road where the entry to the station is located off Rest Park. The overhead station building and concourse is disconnected from Punchbowl Road. Its regular building form consisting of a heritage weatherboard building that is quite domestic in appearance appears quite out of context adjacent to the busy road bridge.

Refer Figure 3.1 Urban spatial qualities, for references to the images above.

3 The change in level created by the overbridge creates a separation 5 between the footpath and the shop fronts along Punchbowl Road

4 The existing car park off The Boulevarde to the south of the station is the largest provision of at-grade parking in the precinct. It services both the station and the town centre. There is a small back lane which connects the car park to the station, however it has a poor urban quality and passive surveillance 2 5 The Punchbowl Community Centre car park is sparsely landscaped 6 3 which provides limited shade. It creates a significant disruption to the 4 urban fabric of Rossmore Avenue, and causes the community centre to front the car park rather than the street 1 8 6 Broadway Plaza is a recent mixed use development with active retail on the ground floor, creating an inviting place for pedestrians.

7 Rest Park adjacent to Punchbowl Station provides shade with an 7 informal arrangement of mature gum trees, and paths that connect the station to the existing parking on Urunga Parade 9

8 The public domain is interrupted by the rail overbridge where the narrow footpath, noise and vibration from traffic create a hostile environment for pedestrians

9 The town centre north of the station along Punchbowl Road and Highclere Avenue faces challenges, with signs of disused shop fronts. It has poor connections to the station and the established town centre to the south

3.3.3 Urban form The established village centre at Punchbowl is bisected by both Punchbowl Road and the T3 Bankstown Line, creating a distinct north-south separation. Punchbowl Station is set back from the centre of the thriving main street which extends three blocks along The Boulevarde and wraps around the corner onto Punchbowl Road. The character of the northern block, located at the junction of Punchbowl Road and Highclere Street feels under-utilised, with limited street furniture, lack of street trees and the noise and vibration from traffic on Punchbowl road. The built form is a mix of traditional 2-3 storey shop top housing and newer developments with retail ground plane and residential units above. Many of the shop fronts at Breust Place are empty, despite being set back from 8 6 Punchbowl Road. The thriving main street at The Boulevarde to the south is vibrant and pedestrian friendly, characterised by lower scale 1-2 storey shop top housing with activated retail frontages. Further along The Boulevarde Punchbowl is an area in transition, with the new seven storey mixed use Broadway Plaza development juxtaposing the lower scale traditional main street opposite the station. Typical residential built form within the wider station precinct at Punchbowl is a mix of low density 1-2 storey detached housing and 2-3 storey brick walk ups which is standard to the development pattern along the T3 Bankstown line.

3.3.4 Heritage Punchbowl Station was opened on 14 April 1909 , as part of the extension to the line along with Bankstown and Lakemba. The area was formerly known as Belmore before the introduction of the station. The weatherboard overhead booking office (1929) and associated footbridge and stairs (1930) are representative of the establishment of Punchbowl as part of the suburban serving line in 7 the inter-war period. Punchbowl station group (overhead booking office , footbridge and stairs) is on the Railcorp S170 Register and the Local Heritage Register. While the brick platform buildings are a more recent modification, the overhead booking office is significant as it is an example of typical timber structures used by NSW Railways between 1910 and the 1950s. The overhead booking office retains its original configuration and much of its original fabric, including an unaltered lamp room. The station precinct includes many examples of detached Californian bungalows typical of suburban development during the inter-war period. The former Punchbowl Baby Health Centre located within Rest Park, north of the corridor is a low scale, modern style building with formal rose beds. It is currently disused.

1 Small inter-war concourse buildings are in good condition, and despite alterations remain true to the original form and character. The overhead booking office is visible from Punchbowl road to the north and from the overbridge. Station access is from Punchbowl Road and The Boulevarde 4 2 A red brick two storey shoptop building with clock tower is visible from both sides of the overbridge and becomes a landmark building due to its location at the crest of the hill 7

3 The former Punchbowl Baby Health Centre is a low scale modern style building with formal rose garden beds. It is 8 currently disused

4 Typical built form within the precinct consists of one storey bungalows, 2-3 storey brick walk-ups and newer multi- residential mixed use developments

5 The Boulevarde and Punchbowl Road host a vibrant, active retail and dining strip with mixture of traditional 1-2 storey shop-top and newer developments with active edges. There is 5 a predominantly fine-grained and human scale with continuous connection to Punchbowl Station via the south entry along 6 The Boulevarde 2 1 6 Broadway Plaza is a recent seven storey mixed use development with active retail on the ground floor. It is the only development of significant height near the station

7 Punchbowl Mosque was recently completed in 2017 and serves the local Muslim community. It is distinctly different to the typical built form of the area and creates a local landmark

8 Punchbowl Community Centre is a multifunction space which serves many user groups. It fronts the community car park 3 which pre-dates it, rather than addressing the street

3.3.5 Landscape, vegetation and topography Punchbowl Station is cut into the natural topography and the rail corridor sits below the overbridge at Punchbowl Road. Overall the station precinct is relatively flat with the topography gently sloping towards the north from 34m at the corridor to 44m at the edge of the station precinct (refer Figure 3.3). To the north, the station concourse building is set within a natural landscape, the planting of Eucalyptus trees at the station rest park reinforce the natural character. To the south the station has an urban quality, with the station entry framed between two shops along the main street. Refer Figure 3.4 Precinct landscape, topography and views, for references to the images above. Views of the station building and along the corridor to the west are achieved from the highpoint at the Punchbowl Road overbridge, though narrow footpaths and traffic noise and vibration make this 4 an uninviting environment. The main street itself south of the station is urban and hard edged, with street trees present at the interface between The Boulevarde and the station park and ride or on side streets. Beyond the main street, the area character is of single, detached residential early 20th century brick dwellings, with front gardens and low fences. Footpaths are inconsistently applied to streets, with some streets having no footpaths at all, or only on one side of the street. Street tree planting is inconsistent, with the highest concentration of street tree planting occurring on streets adjacent to the rail corridor. Private gardens including large trees contribute to the urban canopy. Rest Park to the north on Punchbowl Road is the most significant public open space within the station precinct, providing a softened entrance to the station. The park features a large grassy area, with areas of seating and large, mature Eucalypt trees which provide significant shade.

2 Views terminating on prominent corner buildings act as landmarks within the station precinct

3 Arthur Street frames a view of the station entry along The Boulevarde however station signage is not visible

4 Rest Park adjacent to Punchbowl Station provides shade with an informal arrangement of mature gum trees, and paths that connect the station to the existing parking on Urunga Parade 9 5 Mary Barry Park is a small open space with limited planting and seating. It provides a small amount of shade

6 South Terrace has a pleasant streetscape with reasonably 3 continuous street trees that have generally not been intensely cut around powerlines and retain well proportioned shapes, 2 especially along the northern edge

7 Urunga Parade is lined by trees with significant canopy and has a continuous footpath along the northern edge which is 8 atypical for the area. It terminates on a view of the Punchbowl Station Rest Park 1 1

3.3.6 Transport and access The Station faces many challenges in connecting to its surrounding context. The primary entrance to the station is set back from Punchbowl’s vibrant main street at the junction with Arthur Street and The Boulevarde, where a signalised intersection provides connection across the street and the station entry itself is not visible except from the intersection crossing. Access to the secondary station entrance is challenging. The existing footpaths on the overbridge at Punchbowl Road are narrow, and noise and vibration from traffic creates an uninviting experience. The station underpass connecting to Breust Place is narrow, poorly lit and uninviting. The signalised crossing at the corner of The Boulevarde and Punchbowl Road is tight with limited waiting space. The existing station is not DDA compliant, with access to the 1 6 platform limited to a set of stairs at both entries and to the platform. Level changes at the Punchbowl Road overbridge create disruption in the pedestrian realm, with multiple examples of fenced stairs and ramps being used to connect the level of Punchbowl Road with the lower level of existing shop fronts. Existing bicycle parking is provided at the north station entry, however there are no existing on or off-road cycleways. Urunga Parade is a likely choice for an on-road cycleway, as it is a quiet street terminating in a cul-de-sac at the station rest park. There is no wayfinding signage towards the station. Bus services are frequent and the closest bus stops are provided on Punchbowl Road, Breust Place and at The Boulevarde. Park and ride facilities are provided on The Boulevarde, and a back laneway connects the car park to the station entry. The local context for transport and access will change as a result of the Project: – New lifts will improve access to the station and across the rail corridor 7 – A signalised pedestrian crossing at Punchbowl Road will provide improved access to the northern town centre and bus services (currently under investigation) – An improved underpass connection will connect the station to existing bus services at Breust Place and Punchbowl Boys High School – A new kiss and ride space will be provided at The Boulevarde – Bus services will continue to run from Breust Place, Punchbowl Road and The Boulevarde – Walking and cycling connectivity will be improved through new cycleway connections.

3.4 Issues and opportunities

Analysis of the built, natural and community context has highlighted both constraints, and opportunities to enhance the station and its precinct character, amenity and connectivity. This section of the SDPP summarises the key findings from the precinct analysis studies where the project has the greatest potential to influence the wider context. As many of the issues and opportunities extend beyond the scope of the project, there is a distinction between what is able to be delivered as part of the project (‘opportunities delivered’) and what is not (‘opportunities safeguarded’). The table inSection 3.5 (to be read in conjunction with Figure 3.7 Issues and Opportunities) below therefore shows the relationship between opportunities, the project response (within its scope) and those items which are safeguarded for future actions.

4.0 Design

4.1 Project design

4.1.1 Design intent Sydney Metro is committed to delivering easy, safe and reliable turn-up-and-go services, and active precincts and places. The Project design supports this commitment with a holistic approach that responds to the station context as well as to the line-wide requirements of Sydney Metro. The metro stations will provide renovated and modernised concourse and platform environments, and an upgraded public domain at station entries. Each station design aims to contribute positively to the wider precinct by achieving a sensitive fit with existing and future precinct planning, and to the community and heritage aspects of each place. For all stations, retention and re-use of heritage buildings is key. For Punchbowl, the station precinct will be enhanced through an upgraded plaza and landscape quality at both station entries. This will encourage active and lively public spaces that form a place to stay and stop rather than just pass through. The presence of the heritage overhead booking office will be improved through its refurbishment while access throughout the precinct and to the station will be greatly improved. The designs have been developed in partnership with the station design team to minimise impacts on existing railway assets and Sydney Trains operations by maximising off-site fabrication and assembly and by reusing existing assets, such as the station platform buildings, overhead wiring structures and road bridges.

4.2 Station precinct design

4.2.1 Station legibility Punchbowl station sits within a cutting in a slight rise in natural landform along Punchbowl Road. The overhead booking office is highly visible when approaching from the north but quite concealed on a southern approach, mainly due to its setback and vertical screens along the Punchbowl Road overbridge. The design retains the overhead booking office and generally modernises the interior while providing a refreshed concourse and roof line along the east and south. This will not change the presence of the station greatly but will assist legibility as a Metro station at both station entries with modern lifts and stair canopies. Locally, at either renewed station entry, an updated plaza provides improved open space while making a positive contribution to the public domain and Metro identity.

4.2.2 Urban character Punchbowl is typified by low-scale 1-2 storey detached dwellings, owing to its development after the railway line was established and large land plots being available. Street trees are intermittent while the few established trees along Punchbowl Road do frame the road corridor and add a sense of landscape character. Trees are significantly reduced along Punchbowl Road to the stations south where the majority of the town centre is located and there is a defined urban quality. The station upgrade recognises the lack of green open space and improves the quality of the space adjacent its entries through new planting and renewed landscaping. The character of the station is largely retained through the design while the improvements to the concourse and entries aim to set a clean and modern precedent within the precinct. The station will be legible as a Metro station while maintaining and enhancing what is local and valued, stitching these modest interventions into the existing urban fabric.

4.2.3 Built form and scale The existing single storey overhead booking office is simple and domestic in form. Its weatherboard cladding, hip roof with metal sheeting and timber double hung windows portray its era of construction and these elements are retained and generally refreshed. Upgraded concourse elements including roof, glazing, lifts and stairs respect the scale and form of the existing buildings while expressing a horizontal emphasis that is also sympathetic to the existing platform building built in the early 1980’s. Additional building footprint on the platforms is minimised by using space under the new stairs and re-using the existing platform building. Consistent with the over-arching design strategy of minimal intrusion and maximum ‘fit’ with the existing precinct character, new elements are streamlined and refined rather than bold or heroic.

4.5 Heritage

4.5.1 Heritage platorm buildings and platorm walls The existing platform buildings date to the 1980’s and while listed on the local heritage register are not considered to be of aesthetic significance. They will accommodate Sydney Metro Works equipment and operations facilities, such as communication rooms, station control rooms, and station amenities. Platform buildings rooms are renewed and adapted as needed to allow for Sydney Metro rooms and facilities to be incorporated.

4.5.2 Heritage concourse elements Punchbowl station’s concourse building is a locally listed heritage item, comprised of a timber framed, weatherboard building with a hipped corrugated steel sheet roof. The existing station concourse building will largely remain intact, retaining its original roofline and spatial configuration. The existing ticket office room and lamp room are retained and converted to staff locker room and station store room. Upgrade works are minimal and seek to modernize the building with new finishes and materials. However, much of the existing heritage fabric including the timber panelled walls, the angled framing support beams and the multi-pane sash windows will be retained. The station concourse will retain its visual association to the immediate precinct in terms of scale and geometry.

4.5.3 Heritage Interpretation Plan In accordance with Condition of Approval E14, a Heritage Interpretation Plan for Punchbowl Station has been developed by a suitably qualified heritage professional. The Heritage Interpretation Plan is informed by an over-arching project wide Heritage Interpretation Strategy, heritage impact assessments and management strategies. Consistent with the development stage of the Heritage Interpretation Plan, interpretive devices have been selected as being appropriate to transmit messages about the cultural heritage of the site. A common suite of devices that utilise similar materials are proposed at each station. Content and devices are adjusted to best address the different needs and interests of the relevant audiences while locally salvaged material will be considered where it is practical. The final design for interpretive elements, including words and image selection will be detailed upon completion of subsequent stages of the Heritage Interpretation Plans. At Punchbowl Station, upgrades to the station entry plaza’s provide opportunities for interpretation media. The northern plaza will feature a combination of signage elements and indigenous planting which will reflect the historic usage of the site and its importance to local groups. Detailed consultation for these items is ongoing with Canterbury - Bankstown Elders. Further to the plaza, interpretation devices within the station will be installed and these will consist of wall mounted signage that provides a history of the precinct and station.

4.6 Concourse

4.6.1 Station entry Established in 1929, Punchbowl station features two station entries connected by the overhead booking office and covered footbridge. The concourse building has local heritage value, and as such, proposed works to the station entry and concourse are minor in nature. The design retains and enhances the existing dual access station arrangement and public open space adjacent to each station entry, as they are part of what make the station unique and add interest to the streetscape. New lifts and stair canopy’s will enhance the legibility of the station entry on approach with the entry also announced by Metro signage and distinct line-wide architectural detailing that is consistent with the project architectural principles. Upgrades to both entry plazas will provide essential space to sit and relax while also acting as visual markers within the precinct for clear access to the station.

4.6.2 Concourse refurbishment The extent of refurbishment within the existing concourse building is limited. The existing building is heritage listed and complements the existing scale and form of the station precinct. The concourse interiors will be refreshed, including repairs to existing doors and windows, new ceiling battens and renewed lighting fixtures. Further upgrades include the repainting of walls, columns, fascias, soffits, window frames, doors and door frames. The design, with its new ceiling battens, glazed screens and floor tiles, allows perception of the station entries and concourse overbridge as a renewed, continuous space that goes from one side to the other of the station, passing through the heritage concourse building. Refurbished station entry from The Boulevarde At the entry and within the concourse, signage and ticketing facilities are to be upgraded to Figure 4.12 current standards.

44 Punchbowl Station Design & Precinct Plan. Document: SMCSWSWM-MTM-WPS-UD-REP-241000 Sydney Metro Southwest Metro Design Services (SMDS)

4.6.3 Roof and canopies The concourse roof will be demolished and replaced with a new roof whilst the existing overhead concourse building roof will remain. The existing overhead concourse building is simple and rectangular in form with a hip shaped roof clad in metal sheeting. This simple domestic character is enhanced by the contrasting horizontal form of the new concourse roof elements that are designed to minimise visual impact, with slender depth and shallow edge profile. The design maintains an appropriate scale relationship with the station group: the roof, and the stair canopies, are simple, low and planar. The soffit is lined with timber-style battens to create a warm, softer appearance. The concourse roof also provides weather protection to the lift entry. The new stair canopies are designed to be simple and light, in keeping with the overall design intent of minimal intrusion on the existing station character. The stair canopies follow the line of the stairs, in one plane and without large overhangs. They allow for views to the station precinct and over the rail line, contributing to a sense of openness, passive surveillance and perception of safety and security.

Figure 4.15 Cross section of station showing eastern elevation

4.7 Platorm

The entire station platform will be resurfaced and the coping edge raised for Disability Standards for Accessible Public transport (DSAPT) compliance. To retain as much of the heritage brick platform walls as possible, a precast concrete ‘T’ section will sit above them. The new concrete coping element provides a cable recess for the future provision of platform screen doors (PSDs), along with cast-in rebates for mechanical gap fillers. The entire coping edge will be finished in concrete, to a width of 1500mm, and will facilitate the temporary provision of the yellow line and tactile ground surface indicators (TGSIs) while Sydney Trains remains in operation. Upon transfer to Sydney Metro, the yellow lines and TGSIs are removed, the PSDs and mechanical gap fillers installed, and the result will be a strong visual expression of Sydney Metro’s line-wide identity.

Figure 4.16 Platform edge regrading: detail section

46 Punchbowl Station Design & Precinct Plan. Document: SMCSWSWM-MTM-WPS-UD-REP-241000 Sydney Metro Southwest Metro Design Services (SMDS)

4.8 Lifts and stairs

4.8.1 Lifts Lifts have been integrated within the existing concourse building to provide logical, intuitive and accessible paths for customers. Two new steel-framed lifts at both the southern and northern station entries will provide vertical transport between the upgraded plaza and the concourse bridge. A third lift provides vertical transport between the concourse and the island platform. The lift shaft is glazed to provide clear views through the station, and has been located to provide adequate clearances from and integration with existing and proposed structure and services. Each lift landing has adequate ‘queuing zones’ and is identified with compliant signage and graphics, positioned to be clearly visible from common entry points and access pathways. The lift is designed to seamlessly integrate with the visual style and detailing of the new concourse structure.

4.8.2 Stairs Existing stairs are retained and brought up to current standards with minor repairs. Notably, the stairs are extended by several treads to align with new surface treatments and will have an adjusted handrail to suit (refer Figure 4.18). New balustrades will be installed and will feature either vertical steel elements or glazes screens over the rail line, both of which integrate with line-wide details. Stairs will have a new canopy over that will provide continuous weather protection from the station entry to the platform.

4.9 Connectivity and access

4.9.1 Pedestrian and bicycle movement The station precinct is an important interchange for multiple transport modes: walking, cycling, buses and Sydney Metro. The design will contribute to revitalising the precinct by 7 creating a high-quality modal interchange. New lifts and stairs to the existing Punchbowl station entries will create an accessible pedestrian connection between The Boulevarde and Punchbowl Road.

Pedestrian movement within the precinct is currently constrained by Punchbowl Road and THE BOULEVARDE the rail corridor, which impede connectivity. Upgrades to Punchbowl Station including new 6 lifts will create an accessible cross corridor connection between Punchbowl Road and the Boulevarde. A new station forecourt plaza on the northern side creates an enhanced public 1 space that allows enhanced access to the lift and provides space for bicycle parking and pedestrian seating. 4 Upgrades to the existing Punchbowl Road underpass will improve safety and accessibility to 5 and from the station. A new pedestrian crossing at Punchbowl Road adjacent to the existing 2 bus stops is currently under investigation and its implementation would facilitate greater 3 pedestrian connectivity within the wider station precinct. A concept design for a future cross corridor pedestrian connection has also been completed as part of the design (refer 2 section 4.9.5). This future overbridge will alleviate pedestrian movement pressures from Punchbowl Road and allow an alternate path of movement. 2 PUNCHBOWL ROAD 4 8 4.9.2 Bicycle parking 1 11 Bicycle parking is provided for at both the north and south station entries. Ten bicycle parking hoops (for a total of 20 spaces) are provided to the northern station entry directly 9 9 adjacent the station entry stairs and new lift, while seven additional hoops (total 14 spaces) BREUST PLACE are located at the plaza entry from The Boulevarde.

4.9.3 Interchange facilities

The design provides for: 10 – Convenient transfer to existing bus stops on Punchbowl Road, Breust Place and The Boulevarde – 10 new bicycle hoops (20 spaces) north of the station – 7 new bicycle hoops (14 spaces) south of the station

4.10 Public domain

4.10.1 Public domain activation The project delivers two new plaza spaces to the existing streetscape, one to the north and one to the south adjacent to the existing station entries. The northern plaza (refer figure 4.3 for detailed design) is well integrated with the existing station entry and Rest Park. It will extend the usable space in front of the station entry stairs with a paved area and provide improved access and legibility. It incorporates a pop- up retail space next to the lift and stair entry and three cube seats which are located under the central tree providing an additional communal space for seating and gathering within the precinct. Both the seating and pop-up retail will encourage activation in the plaza. The plaza is open to the street and features a small continuous stair descending into Rest Park to deal with the change in existing levels. Accessible connections into the rest park and to the footpath at Punchbowl Road are also provided. The design of the northern plaza aims to complement the existing landscape setting of Rest Park while providing a place of respite from busy Punchbowl Road. The southern plaza (refer figure 4.4 for detailed design) refreshes an existing space between 2 shopfronts and proposes to extend existing paving design along the entire station entrance to create a consistent station entry. The southern plaza will upgrade the space and provide better access from the street and carpark to the station. Seating, and landscaping will combine to provide a shady place for rest and respite off the main street while encouraging use of the space and facilitating better activation. These plazas will provide an inviting place for metro commuters and the general public to rest and relax or come together directly outside the station entry. New tree planting is proposed within the plazas to provide year round shade while improved lighting and heritage interpretation installations will help provide both a safe place and a place worth spending time in.

4.11 Plaza landscape design

4.11.1 Landscape strategy The landscape design acknowledges and responds to the various layers of history of Punchbowl. Rich stories around the sites historic use has influenced elements within the design whilst also providing modern approach that responds so the local context and has a consistency with local council and line-wide Metro finishes and fixtures. The landscape strategy for the northern plaza provides a generous station entry forecourt and connections to the existing Rest Park and Punchbowl Road. It provides a lush, green respite from the prevailing hardscape urban character within the precinct. A series of large terraced concrete steps are employed to mitigate the level change and function as seating. A terraced lawn at the foot of these stairs steps down into the park and is planted with indigenous species to create a connection to the Aboriginal Heritage of the area. Additional seating is proposed as solid cubes at the centre of the plaza, located under a central tree providing a shaded place for communal gathering. Feature paving is proposed within the plaza to add visual interest and reinforce local identity. The low walls along the edge of the plaza and along the footpath frontage at Punchbowl Road manage the change in ground / garden levels and will have heritage interpretation media installed. The landscape strategy within the southern plaza and adjacent connection to the carpark aim to unify and consolidate existing underutilised areas within the public domain while providing meaningful new spaces for public use. The existing space is outdated and quite hard and urban in feel. The design aims to soften the space with additional landscaping and a renewed palette of materials and fixtures. It will still retain its connection to The Boulevarde but will create an improved break out space from the busy street.

4.13 Public art

Public art is planned to be integrated into the station design in the form of architectural glass panels at station entries and on concourses. A uniform series of locations and materials have been selected for the ten Southwest Metro stations between Marrickville and Bankstown, to provide a cohesive framework for diverse artworks for this section of Sydney Metro. The art sites would be visible from the surrounding public domain. Artists have been selected through a competitive process involving a public expression of interest and competitions with expert panels selecting the artists and artworks. Successful artists are developing artworks that will be realised as a transparent artwork, embedded in glass panels at the stations. The works respond to stories and themes from the nearby local communities and neighbourhoods. The public art program aims to: – Align with Transport for NSW’s commitments to improving customer experience and delivering successful places – Promote inclusivity, community involvement, public pride and ownership of Sydney Metro stations and precincts – Provide a welcoming, destinational and impressive presence within stations and opportunities for the arts sector to contribute to the Sydney Metro network – Commission diverse public art of high quality by a culturally diverse range of artists – Create a best practice in permanent Australian transit art, and high-quality artworks.

4.14 Metro-wide design

4.14.1 Wayfinding and signage 4.14.2 Common materials and finishes The primary station entries at The Boulevarde and Railway Parade will be retained. A finishes and materials schedule has been prepared for concourse buildings, establishing Upgrades to directional signage at the existing station entries and internally at the station a consistent palette of materials, colours and textures that reinforce a line-wide Sydney overbridge, concourse and platforms will reinforce this arrangement. Metro identity. The application of the palette varies subtly from station to station, to respond and contribute to the local character. The rationale for common materials and finishes across the whole alignment is: – Glazing for outlook, views towards platform heritage buildings, and an enhanced sense of safety with casual surveillance: » Glass screens to balustrades within the station (on overhead bridges / elevated concourses) » Glazed roof panels to stair canopies » Glazed lifts. – Framing that minimises the bulk and appearance of new structures, to maintain the relative importance of existing heritage and character buildings and elements » Slender steel framing to screens, balustrades, lifts and canopies » Steelwork painted in a dark recessive colour. – Roofs that soften and ‘warm’ the concourse environment » Battens underneath glass awnings for filtered light. – Cladding to new or refreshed concourse buildings that is hardy, durable, and discourages graffiti; and that is distinctively lighter in appearance than the buildings at platform level below » Rimex metal cladding panels with a textured pattern. – New platform buildings (under stairs) that reflect the brick history of the station platform buildings and platform walls; that have a solid, ‘grounded’ character reflective of being in cut, below the surface » Brick, laid in stretcher bond and / or patterned for ventilation where enclosing services.

At Punchbowl, a new concourse roof and glass screens will refresh the concourse, providing a clean and contemporary finish that complements the heritage concourse building. New stair canopies and lift structure enhance this orthogonal detailing with painted steel and glass throughout.

4.15 Services building

New services buildings are required at each station to house critical equipment such as signalling and telecom essential for Metro operations. Services buildings perform similar functions at each location but will vary in size depending on specific requirements and the appropriate siting of the building. In addition to the functional building requirements there are requirements for vehicle access, parking and pad mount services. The strategy of development for the services buildings is to provide a consistent approach and visual experience across the line that is adjusted to suit the visual impact each building will have on the local public domain. The line wide principles for the services buildings are; – Functional and efficient building layouts applicable to multiple sites – Simple, durable and timeless expression – Tailored precinct arrangement - driven by current and future constraints – Considerations of cost and constructibility Sydney Metro will continue to keep local stakeholders updated on the design and construction of the services building.

5.0 Transport and Access

5.1 Transport and access design measures

5.1.1 Maximising the amenity of public spaces There is good provision of public space immediately adjacent to both station entries on The Boulevarde (south) and at Rest Park (north). On The Boulevarde there is small public plaza with good shade, street furniture and access to the street and carpark. At Rest Park and Punchbowl Road, a moderately sized open park connects to the station entry providing opportunities for shaded seating. Additional bicycle parking reduces cluttering from casual unplanned bicycle parking though both entries do suffer from slight restrictions in amenity due to adjacent busy roads or buildings. Key to the Punchbowl SDPP is the improvement of station entries and forecourt plazas. The design maximises the amenity of public spaces by: – Creating a new public plaza adjacent the north station entry that: » Enhances the existing public domain » Provides flexible space that is able to accommodate places to stop, meet and sit » Is highly visible on the street and from within the station; good passive surveillance encouraging greater activity and the perception of safety. – Enhancing the existing southern plaza and station entry by: » Providing a clean and accessible space » Providing flexible space that is able to accommodate places to stop, meet and sit

5.1.2 Maximising accessibility around entrances to stations The station entry is revitalised through the de-cluttering of the existing station including the removal of existing bicycle racks. New bicycle racks are positioned to enhance pedestrian movement. A new, enlarged canopy roof at the station entry enhances its visibility within the precinct and offers better weather protection coverage while new wayfinding and finish treatments to the existing concourse building and ground surface provide a refreshed and clean environment.

5.1.3 Maximising integration with other transport modes Integration with other transport modes has been maximised by providing interchange facilities and access to them, through: – Increasing the amenity of the public domain around the station to support Sydney Metro patronage – Providing additional bicycle parking – Providing for easy transfer to the bus stops on Punchbowl Road and The Boulevarde – Providing access to the existing taxi parking on Arthur Street – Providing access to the new Kiss and Ride zone on The Boulevarde – Providing access to the existing accessible parking within the commuter carpark 5.

5.2 Integration with the Walking and Cycling Strategy

In accordance with Condition E53 of the Conditions of Approval, a Walking and Cycling Strategy for the southwest corridor from Sydenham to Bankstown has been prepared. In the context of the Punchbowl precinct, a number of corridors and locations present opportunities for improved walking and cycling accessibility around the precinct. In accordance with CoA E57(d)(iii) the relevant initiatives from the Walking and Cycling Strategy in the Punchbowl Station precinct have been integrated below. The Walking and Cycling Strategy identifies a number of corridors and locations that present opportunities for improved walking and cycling accessibility in a one kilometre radius around the rail station. It covers local pedestrian routes, circulation patterns and desire lines; land use and the level of activity around the station; relationships to other transport networks and modes; and the proximity of local access roads and routes The Walking and Cycling Strategy identifies works to be delivered by Sydney Metro associated with east-west pedestrian and cyclist facilities as required under Condition E53 of the infrastructure approval. The Strategy also identifies a number of complementary infrastructure options that could be delivered by others as part of other projects or considered for further investigation. The table below and figures 5.1 and 5.2 highlight some of these opportunities located within the Punchbowl Station precinct, and describes how they are integrated with the SDPP.
